LFC 25 takes place at Arena Theatre in Houston and will also
see 2008 Olympic gold medalist Henry
Cejudo make his sophomore promotional appearance against
11-fight pro Humberto
DeLeon, as the flyweights collide live on AXS TV in the
evening’s co-main event.

Patino, 40, captured the LFC lightweight belt last year and
successfully defended the gold this past March, when he submitted
Derrick
Krantz with a guillotine choke at LFC 18. “Macaco” also holds
the Texas-based organization’s welterweight strap and owns 24 of
his 34 career victories by either knockout or submission.

Ferreira, 28, made his promotional debut this past May at LFC 20,
when he outpointed former WEC welterweight title contender Carlo
Prater. The eight-fight pro then returned to the Legacy cage on
Oct. 11, taking a unanimous decision from Chris Feist
at LFC 24.

Cejudo has yet to experience defeat as a mixed martial artist and
already owns five victories after beginning his fighting career
this past March. The 26-year-old freestyle wrestling ace made his
Legacy debut earlier this month at LFC 24, taking a unanimous
decision from local talent Ryan
Hollis.

DeLeon is an alumnus of both Bellator and Strikeforce but rides a
four-fight losing streak into his meeting with the Olympic
champion. After beginning his career 6-1, DeLeon dropped decisions
to Nate
Garza, Chad
Robichaux and Jimmy Flick
(twice), bringing his professional ledger to 6-5.
